BLACKRIDGE

One game, four ways to fight, all under the same night storm.

CAMPAIGN — RAVEN 2-1, you are going in alone. Meridian Ward is a blacked-out harbor district held by Vektor Ancile private military contractors. Work the infiltration from the docks, take the plaza, and reach the CINDERLOCK uplink before exfil closes. One mission, six beats, checkpoint respawns.

PVP — three arenas, each hosting all three modes at a maximum of 10 combatants: you plus 9 AI opponents and teammates who know each mode's full rules and fight to win. Pick your ground before you deploy:

• LANTERNWALK — the harbour carve, shipping containers and lantern-lit arcades through the ward's densest blocks.
• SWITCHYARD — a tram depot: a covered running shed between two stabling yards, standing cars and gantries for cover, boarding platforms you fight across.
• SALTMARKET — a covered market: one great hall under a gallery walkway, wrapped in narrow rows of shuttered stalls and blind corners.
• SKIRMISH — 5v5 team deathmatch, AMBER vs SLATE. First to 50 kills or best score at 8:00; overtime is sudden death.
• CAPTURE THE FLAG — 5v5, mirrored flag rooms, 3 captures to win. Carriers get escorted, runners get cut off.
• FREE-FOR-ALL — every operator for themselves, 10-way, first to 25 kills.

Four original weapons carry every mode: the M-72 Warden full-auto rifle, the suppressed KS-23 Vesper for close work, the LR-1 Corvus marksman rifle, and the GS-9 Pike sidearm — with kill resupply keeping the ammo economy honest in PVP. Movement is modern-military: sprint, slide, mantle, aim-down-sights, and frag grenades you can cook. The opposition plays fair and plays smart — no wallhacks, no aimbots: squads that take fire tokens, flank when you hold a lane, suppress when you camp, and call every move aloud. Hold TAB for the live scoreboard.
